A Little Bit Of Mercy

Time goes by so quickly now

On this freight train line

Through my hometown

There are days I wait for night to come

When I fall asleep just to wake again

Oh to walk beside an honorable man

Honey, sometimes I just do the best that I can

And you show me a little bit of mercy

Of mercy, of mercy

More than a little bit of mercy

Striving for that golden crown

Will He say well done

When the trumpet sounds

Standing where our fathers stood

We learn their ways to make them good

But where is the heart in an honorable man

Honey, sometimes you just do the best that you can

And I show you a little bit of mercy

Of mercy, of mercy

More than a little bit of mercy

Underneath this house of stones

A whole wide world beckons us on

To leave behind the walls and doors

Windows, ceilings and floors

Let us breathe in mountains

Breathe out sun

For ourselves

And this race we run

If you'll show me a little bit of mercy

Of mercy, of mercy

More than a little bit of mercy

And I'll show you a little bit of mercy

Of mercy, of mercy

More than a little bit of mercy
